For the next three problems, evaluate each expression if x= -2, y=4, and z=-3

1 answer:

4 0

Exponent rule : n^-x = 1/n^x
1.) (4 - 2(-2))^ -2 = (4 + 2)^-2 = 6^-2 = 1/6^2 = 1/36

2.) (y - z) ^-3 = (4 - (-3))^-3 = (4 + 3)^-3 = 7^-3 = 1/7^3 = 1/343

3.) (-2 - 5(4)^0 = (-2-20)^0 = -22^0 = 1 (any number to the 0 power is 1)

Answer:

38.13 ft squared

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is half of a circle we first find the area of a normal circle then divide by two.

So to find the area of a circle it is pi times radius squared which in this case it would be 3.14 times 9 = 28.26

Then since it is a half circle we divide by two so

28.26/2 = 14.13

Then to find the area of the triangle we do 4 times 6 which is 24.

now we add the two which is 14.13 + 24 which is

38.13

How can you tell when a pattern shows counting on by tens?

velikii [3]

Answer:
The difference between successive terms is 10

Explanation:
To know the factor by which a certain pattern is increasing/decreasing, you need to subtract its successive terms.

If the subtraction gives you 10, this means that the pattern is increasing by 10

Examples:
10, 20, 30, 40, 50, .....
20 - 10 = 10
30 - 20 = 10
40 - 30 = 10
50 - 40 = 10
The difference between each two successive terms is 10. This means that each time we add 10 to the number we have in order to get the next one.
Therefore, this pattern is increasing by 10

37, 47, 57 , .....
47 - 37 = 10
57 - 47 = 10
The difference between each two successive terms is 10. This means that each time we add 10 to the number we have in order to get the next one.
Therefore, the pattern is increasing by 10

Hope this helps :)

Kendra dives off a diving board into the water and then comes back up to the surface. Her dive can be modeled by the equation: ,

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

1. 6 feet

2. 6.25 feet

3. 1 feet

4. 6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is : $h(x)=x^2-7x+6$

1. The diving board is where Kendra dives off. Here, the horizontal distance, x from the diving board is 0.

So, substituting x = 0 in the equation, we get

$h(0)=0^2-7(0)+6$

$=0-0+6$

$=6$

So, the diving board is 6 feet above the surface of the water.

2. From the equation, we known that it is a parabola and the vertex is minimum.

It is the minimum height which represents the depth Kendra dives into the water.

So the $x$ coordinate of the vertex is = $\frac{-b}{2a}$

Here, a and b are the coefficients of linear term and the quadratic terms in the equation. Therefore,

a = 1 and b = -7

∴ x coordinate = $\frac{-(-7)}{2 \times 1}$

$\frac{7}{2}=3.5$

Now substituting to find f(x),

$h(3.5)=(3.5)^2-7(3.5)+6$

= -6.25

Therefore, the diver dives 6.25 feet below the water surface.

3. The horizontal distance from the board the diver enters into the water.

This is the y-intercept and it is the value of x when h(x)=0.

∴ $0=x^2-7x+6$

Factorizing, we get $(x-1)(x-6)=0$

∴ $x=1 \text{ or}\ x=6$

So there are two solutions that are the two x intercepts of the function. Here at x = 1 shows the horizontal distance from the board from where Kendra dives into the water.

4. We know that the equation given has $\text{two}$ x intercepts. These two x intercepts are the points where the parabola crosses the x-axis, which is the height $h(x)=0$ . The height is the water surface level.
